Darin sat across from her. "They will send someone over within the next two days."
Felicia's fingers tightened slightly, and she gave a slow nod. Just as she was about to ask another question, her phone vibrated. Seeing the butler's number, she quickly answered. The butler's somber voice informed her that the search and rescue team had recovered belongings belonging to the victims, and they needed her at the center for identification.
Her heart violently seized in her chest. "Okay," she whispered. When she lowered her phone, all the color had drained from her face.
Darin looked at her carefully, having overheard the butler's grave message. "Let Jeremy accompany you, Felicia."
Felicia nodded numbly. Just then, Terry knocked and entered the office. Holden had sent representatives over to negotiate.
Darin turned to Felicia. "Go ahead, Felicia. I will deal with them." He then looked at Jeremy. "Please take good care of her."
Jeremy nodded, and the two of them quickly left the office.
Throughout the car ride, Felicia remained entirely silent. Jeremy cast a worried glance at her profile but ultimately chose to say nothing. When they finally arrived at the search and rescue center, the entire building was drenched in a suffocating, deeply depressing atmosphere.
They were led into a quiet room where the recovered personal items of the victims were neatly laid out on a long table. Felicia examined the items one by one. The air in the room seemed to thin out, suffocating her, until her eyes landed on a familiar tie.
In an instant, she froze in her tracks. Following her gaze, Jeremy saw the tie. He watched as the last remnants of color drained from Felicia's face. "Felicia," he called out softly, but she remained entirely unresponsive.
A nearby staff member stepped forward cautiously. "Have you recognized something?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Is this coming to an end...
Oh nooo!! Don’t tell me Max will get washed ashore on a remote island then loses all his memory, then falls inlove with the local girl who saves him. Then when he meets Felicia again he won’t recognize her and breaks her heart again. Additional plot twist is that Felicia is pregnant with their 2nd child. Please pleaseee don’t give us this scenario.. LOL!!!...
If Max can be forgiven Darrin can be forgiven. And I do not like this marriage business but if it has to happen I hope after he gets stranded on some remote island alone while Felicia and his family fight over custody she wins and also gets half his estate. Then by time he comes back she's found having and remarried. Lol...
The writer is good. They're making me interested in Max. I won't say like yet....
It seems the only one who hasn't suffered is Max. Even his family fakes anger and disappointment all their own doing so they suffer a little. Everyone else has suffered. Luke and Jeremy unrequited. Felicia has suffered the most from family to unrequited to romance to long suffering Mother. Even baby Anne never had a mother til Felicia suffered then came back only to suffer some more. lol...
Oh no what did Colton do?... I have a bone to pick. When Olisha had to go the hospital why beg for Felicia? When she so loved Max? Seemed like she was in on the setup for Felicia to see a suicide for the 2nd time orchestrated by holden and his brother again. I might drop this series it's becoming endless with no real satisfaction for me. I don't need it to end because it's like a soap opera but if things don't end up making sense, tying up loose storylines it's gonna get old fast for me. Good luck author....
Anne, I think your baby brother is on the way. Thank goodness it doesn't say that Felicia is crying just like the last time but still, there's no willingness on her part. Max! You need to try harder. Make her fall in love with you again....
The writer did a big one with Jeremy's speech to Max. He said almost everything that needed to be said. I have wanted Felicia or someone who knows the past to just tell that whole stinking family what they did and how disgusting they are and what they're doing now how unfair it all is to Felicia. A pity it was only Max but he really needed to hear this (plus more)....
I love the chase of this novel, how you’ve build each of the characters. They almost seem like real. I feel like I know them irl. But however I would like to know what’s max’s pov and what’s going on in his head. I truly believe max’s just a grey character. And also please please please update more!!!...
I was really hoping that Max and Felicia would end up together, but why did Max do that to Felicia? 😭 Is that his way of making Felicia overcome the trauma Holden caused her? I don't think that's helping at all. I just hope Max's character has some redeeming qualities in the coming chapters....
